Hi. Just wanted to let you know that when I sprinted outside to get my newspaper this morning, in the midst of the downpour, I discovered that the newspaper was already in the process of composting, as it was not wrapped in a plastic bag. I’ve been calling your customer service number for almost 90 minutes now, and it’s been continuously busy. I take this to mean either you’re having phone problems, or I’m not the only one with a soggy newspaper problem.
Please credit my account; I’ll just read the paper at the office (unless those papers, too, are drenched). And for future reference, here’s a link to a weather page, so you can make sure this does not happen again. Thank you, and God bless.
UPDATE: The papers here at the office were unprotected and therefore soaked, too. SOMEONE goofed majorly in the circulation office at TNI, me thinks.

Jimmy,
A bit ironic, perhaps, to use the internet to complain about something you could get to using the internet?
You can always try http://www.tucsoncitizen.com if you need a news fix…
I can’t examine using the baseball box scores whilst on the potty using the Internet. (Well, I COULD, but …) And I could take this opportunity to dog on the Citizen’s lack of readership, but that would be too mean and catty, even for me.
The underdog should never get catty. It might rainout your box scores.
